2019 Stats: 16 games started, three penalties, three sacks allowed

As far as rookies go, Dalton Risner had a pretty solid year. Despite the 64.3 grade given to him by Pro Football Focus for 2019, he was the most reliable player on the offensive line. Even he did what he could to give his teammates that extra push to get into the end zone.

There is no doubt that he is going to be part of something extraordinary among this young unit. I firmly believe that Risner will be a big part of this offensive line as it looks to improve.

The only thing that I would be concerned with is the sophomore slump that might come up. But I think he has no where to go but up in 2020.

Grade: A
